Learning Modular Java Programming

By: Tejaswini Mandar Jog

Overview of this book

Modular programming means dividing an application into small parts and then developing it. It is an approach taken by developers to build applications and helps them add efficiency in their development process, thus making it more effective. The book starts with the fundamentals of Modular Programming. Then we move on to the actual implementation, where we teach developers how to divide an application into different modules or layers (such as presentation, execution, security, lifecycle, services, and so on) for better management. Once readers are well-versed in these modules and their development, the book shows how to create bindings in order to join these different modules and form a complete application. Next, the readers will learn how to manage these modules through dependency injection. Later, we move on to testing; readers will learn how to test the different modules of an application. The book ends by teaching readers how to maintain different versions of their application and how to modify it. By the end of the book, readers will have a good understanding of modular programming and will be able to use it to build applications with Java.

Chapter 8. Versioning and Deploying

We have made a great effort to create an application. As the application was quite simple and we were working alone on it, we haven't faced the difficulty of collaborating with each other. We never even came across a situation where the code had conflicts because someone else in the team did the changes. But in actual development, we always work in a team, no matter what the size. A team always works faster for better performance but faces problems when collaborating on the work, synchronizing with each other, when more than one person works on the same code, and many more. These are not code-related problems. Rather, the problem is how efficiently we exchange code with each one of our team members with less duplication. Versioning tools help us in such scenarios, as already discussed in the introductory chapter. In this chapter, we will explore the real power of TortoiseSVN as a versioning tool and how we can use it for collaboration. We will cover...
